It's really hard to come up with this "story" for CS because different folks will have different needs. If you're going into hardware/embedded systems/firmware then ECC makes total sense. If you're going into academia, then maybe it's time to introduce the fields/groups portions of number coding. If you're going into high-level (web) software, then maybe it doesn't make sense. CS has so many different routes that there isn't one "story" that appeals to everyone.
